I recently bought a 2005 F150 FX4 and I want to level it and want to put bigger tires and eventually aftermarket rims on it. Just wondering if I should go with a 2 or 2.5 level in the front or a 3" with a 1" block in the rear. I would most likely go with 285/70/18 tires as the 33X12.5X18 might take gas mileage down too much. Does anyone have any pics?

 

Go with the 2 or 2.5" kit, the 3" causes excessive wear on the front suspension compared to the 2 and 2.5". You can find plenty of pics using the search function or looking through the wheels/tires forum.

 

Typically a 2.5" leveling kit on 04-05's & 2" on 06-08's to achieve the most leveled stance.

 

2 inch level with Bilstein 5100s and 305/60R18 tires. Saw about a 1 mpg decrease. See my album for more pictures.

 

This.

There's more stuff in my sig/sticky at the top of this section and if you still want more pictures the search bar can be your best friend too!

 

Thanks for the pics. Ok, yeah I've heard that about the 3in leveling kits. I want to have somewhat of a front end rake, will I still have that with a 2in level? Some leveled F150s I've seen look like the front end is almost higher than the rear.

 

Yup you should, or you can always go with a 1.5" up front or add a block/aal in the rear.
